Graph the Equation
x=-2
What of I do after this step
0x+1y=-2
1x+0y=-2
I am really confused
x = -2 is a vertical line through the point (-2,0). Y can be anything.
If your equation is x = -2
you have a vertical line where all points have the x-value of -2
e.g. (1,-2), (4,-2), (-2,-2), (0,-2) etc
In general if you have an equation where the y term is missing you have a vertical line
If you have an equation where the x term is missing , such as y = 5, you have horizontal line
If you had some other equation, we don't know what it was, since you did not state it.
To graph the equation x = -2, you only need to plot a single vertical line passing through the x-coordinate -2 on a coordinate plane. Since the equation does not have a y-intercept or slope, the line is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis.
Now, let's go through the process step by step:
1. Start by drawing the x-axis and y-axis on a piece of graph paper or using graphing software.
2. Label the x-axis and y-axis with appropriate scale markings.
3. Plot the point (-2, 0) on the graph. This marks the x-coordinate as -2 and the y-coordinate as 0.
4. Draw a vertical line passing through the point (-2, 0) to represent the equation x = -2. The line should extend infinitely in both the positive and negative y-directions.
After completing these steps, you will have successfully graphed the equation x = -2.
